I'm not a girl.....not yet a woman

The famous poet Brittany Spears sang this lovely ballad years ago when I felt more like a girl. Lately I have been wanting to look and feel different. I am not 22 anymore, but I don't want to feel like I am 42 either. In December, I deemed 2008 the "year of the accessory" and my family helped by buying me lots of fun and cute jewelry for Christmas. This started my journey into trying to look and feel more trendy, when really, I am not trendy at all.

Yesterday I woke up and decided it was time for a new hairstyle so I called a girl that had cut a friend's hair and got my hair all cut off. I have not had layers this short since birth. We will see how it goes. I was able to somewhat style it this morning. Here I am about to go to work. I am very nervous to debut my new look. Wish me luck.

Love your hair! How did everyone react to it?

Jenni said...

very cute new 'do! hope you love it! I always find that I feel more grown-up when I have shorter hair.

Alyssa said...

Love the haircut...could you put video on your blog of the "Oops I did it again!" dance?

Love the haircut -- you made me laugh out loud though with the title of this post.

I love that you said 2008 is the "Year of the Accessory" too!

LOVE IT! I've been wanting to chop mine, too, but don't have the guts yet. Maybe you'll inspire me.

Jennifer K said...

I love it!! I will have to get details tomorrow about who did it. I am about to chop mine off once I have enough for the 10 in. requirement. Hopefully soon!

I love the haircut!

I absolutely adore how you deemed this year "the year of accessories". Genuis!

I always feel like i am about 14 (doesn't help that tobe and I both look young) especially in a group of other mommies. I am usually shocked to discover someone is my age because I really felt they were a lot older (wiser, smarter, hipper) than me.

Tiffany said...

I LOVE it! Remember, there is no accessory quite as good as the ol' tattoo markers. Do I need to get you a fresh pack?

Nicole said...

I would like to join you in declaring 2008 the year of the accessory. I will notify my family and hopefully the bling will start pouring in!

I like your new haircut...it is very grown-up. Unlike me, who has had the same haircut since I hit puberty.

Enjoy Fool's Gold this weekend with your big sis. I love your connection to getting free tix...hilarious!
